A st. Paul lawyer tells good story on
Minneapolis brother lawyer. The lat
ter was defending fellow indicted for
breaking into furnishing store and
stealing some shirts, and, his client being
on the stand, he was trying to show by
him that he was too drunk at the time he
broke iLto the store to know what he
was doing. "Now, Patsy" ne said in his
impressive Irish way, "tell his honor
here-one of the brightest ornaments
on the bench, God keep him-and

ana true, every one of them-whether you
knew what you were doing. Did you
know what you were taking? Can you
tell US now what sort of shirts those were
that you are alleged in the Indictment to
have stolen?" Then he paused for re-
ply. "Humph," replied Patsy, "that's a
queer question to ask when you've got
one of them shirts on now!" The Min

Tennyson and Victor Hugo.

Gerald Harry in the independence Beige.
In England, Tennyson has often been
compared with Victor Hugo, but just
why, we fail to see. Perhaps simply be-
cause they were, during the same epoch,
the greatest poets of their respective
countries. But how different was the
close Of their lives. Hugo had expert
enced the bitterness of exile and persecu-
ton, had seen his native land invaded by
foreign enemy, had taken part in revo-
lutions that Tennyson's country had
never known, and had felt hisEheart LAGER
ated by domestic affections. And yet,
what serene and glorious old age was
his. What sympathy for mankind, what
confidence in human affairs, up to the
very moment of his death. Tennyson,
on the contrary, never leaves
the peaceful realms of pure
poetry except for the purpose of
laundering against the defects of a gov
eminent or the faults of society. Hugo
may have condemned, at times, politi-
cal parsonage or q particular ruler, but
he never saw other than the right side of
human institutions, like loving poet and
true artist. Hugo died full of faith in
humanity. He carried with him to the
grave all his sweet dreams, illusions,
utopias, consoling the skeptic, with q
smile on his lip for the life he was quit
ting, like setting sun which leaves be-
bind those glowing clouds which light US
on our way until the moon and stars
CONG out. Hugo cen no longer be COM
pared with Tennyson, whose life is end
ing in cold, gloomy rain that sosks the
fields and soils the streets

Chill Greatly Alarmed ever the Spread
of the Scourge.
PANAMA, Jan. 26.-Great excitement
prevails throughout Chilli at the appear
ance of cholera on it's boundaries. A
strict quarantine was enforced against
vessels coming from suspected ports and
passes on the Argentine frontier were
closed, but the disease, it appears, has
surmounted all barriers and reached the
Pacific slope. A correspondent in Chilli
says: "From the Argentine Republic the
telegraphic news for some days past has
been of an exceedingly alarming nature,
and in Mendoza, at the foot of the Cor
dilleras on the other side, ana its neigh
borhood, no fewer than forty deaths
are reported in one day. They speak of
bodies unburied, OF houses abandoned,
and of children attacked by disease and
left to perish on the roadsides by their
relatives, who are fleeing southwark for
safety. The Argentine government has
all along endesvored to suppress knowl-
edge of the true state of affairs, and tele-
grams have differed widely from those
sent to the Gillian press and to private
individuals. The brief and unsatisfactory
comments, also, which appear in the Ar
gentine press bear abundant testimony
of official supervision, all of which
things have tendency to make US imag-
inc here that matters are worse than they
actually are. The stoppage of trains to
Rosario, in the Argentine Republic,
caused by the adoption of land quarantine
precautions recently threw 10000 men
temporarily out of work.

FIRST BALLOT.

The joint session then adjourned until
II O'Clock tomorrow. Ireland's man
ayers are kicking like steers because of

fer the election of their man. They say
parties identified with the Gould south
western system and also with the West
erd Union Telegraph Company have been
raining kilograms asking for support for
ireland. The ireland managers say these
suppli"ants are altogether too Jealous
and manifest their zeal too openly
to be sincere, and that their
efforts are a part of 4 studied plan to
weaken Ireland in the interest of some
other candidate, either one of the present
ayowed candidates, or some dark-horse
being groOmed systematically in the
political brush, and the rames of Gid
dlngs and Shepherd are significantly
mentioned in connection with this last
idea. But Ireland managers cannot con-

THE SALOONi

What is that, whose light, shining far the
Paints the cloud of the night with softening ray?
What is that, where the CLEANS most effulgent are
shed,
Where the echoes awake to the tottering tread?
What is that-where the laugh OF brutality floats,
And the song of the reve pours jibbering notes
Where is heard the poor victim in maniac call,
IT'S the den of the Demon, where poisons are sold
Where he barters the souls of weak mortas for gold
Where he digs the cold grave, and laughs over the
brink
While the deahdealing glasses still merrily clink
And her sweet prayer is by the boisterous shout;
Where the daughter of childhood is changed to the
wall,
And the pink cheek of virtue made shrunken and
pale
'Tis Satan, cnthroned in his sulphurous cave
The sin-tarnished entrance death and the grave.
Down, down, through the shadows, the millions have
gone.
Yet the stream of the hopeless flows steadily on;
And the Demon-ike laughter which breaks on the
air
Bears on its rough accents the wall of despair;
Where Heaven is mocked and wild creatures foretell
The anguish of souls rushing downward TO hell;
Where Hope, springing up like beauteous how'r.
Must wither and die in sin blighted hour
Where, daily and nightly, SIMS dark will roll
Mid the glee of the damnd for the loss of the SOUL
